BOOOO!!!  The Red Wings lost!  I am not a happy camper.  I was really pulling for them but it was not in the cards.  For all of you who are saying they are done....I believe I have heard that the last 3-4 years!  We still have plenty of young talent coming up, don't count us out!

I finally have a rough draft of my speech written.  It is about 3 pages long, font 16.  So I don't think it will take long maybe 10 minutes at the most.  I am so excited.  Dr. Chabot was NOT planning on coming in for the Gala dinner on Friday night.  I asked him if he would please come and since I was receiving the award for Craig and I and I would love for him to sit at my table.  He finally answered me today and said he could make it!!  Earlier he was not sure he could clear his calender...YEAH!!  It will be so nice to Drs. Taub and Chabot and or course dear, sweet Mary.

Phyllis, Lee and Emily are coming in late Thurs. night.  Friday is the Tribute Day, followed by the Gala dinner.  Friday night Kyle comes in and Sat. & Sun. we are planning a mini vacation to see some of DC.  As many time as I have been there I have never really seen the sights. So we are going to see some of the historical sights...it should be fun.

I went to Solutia on Friday for a plant wide award ceremony for safety.  It was nice that they invited me.  I enjoyed seeing many of Craig's work friends (my friends too!). 

I am getting back into walking.  I have started walking with Renee.  She is determined to get my butt moving and she is flexible, which helps.  I am also getting caught up on all of the paperwork!!  It seemed endless for awhile.  But things seem to be slowing down a bit. 

Nothing else really exciting.  Just keeping in touch.  Father's Day is this Sunday....Keep Emily in your thoughts, I know this is going to be a very rough day for her!

BELIEVING....Shelly
